Daily Prompt: Golden Age

If you had to live forever as either a child, an adolescent, or an adult, which would you choose — and why?

What a stupid question!

An adult of course. Adults have freedom. Adults can drink. OK so can adolescents but it’s easier as an adult. Adults can do their own thing when they want. They don’t depend or rely on other people.

If you are forced to live as a child forever what do you do when your parents die? Well? They don’t live forever. You are then stuck as a kid with no one to look after you. You are a child, you can’t go out to work and earn money. You can’t read the kitchen counter to make food even!

Likewise adolescents are just stupid. They think they are smart and know everything, but they don’t. Then there is the constant mood swings. Constant angst. Uncertainty. No thank you. It’s a great feeling as that slowly fades and you enter adulthood.
